Whereas companies, student organizations, and teachers in the United States are 
        willing and able to participate in educating young people about free 
        markets and opportunities; and
Whereas many organizations, such as Students in Free Enterprise, have developed 
        programs to teach and encourage entrepreneurship among students: Now, 
        therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the Senate--

        as ``Free Enterprise Education Week'';
